I noticed in today's E-Journal that the 2010 American Go Yearbook was completed. I think it's a cool thing, and I'm glad that it was finished so quickly compared to previous years.
This made me wonder, though, did anybody else get their 2009 American Go Yearbook CD? I received the yearbook, but a note at the back of the yearbook said that the CD was "coming soon". Did anybody get the CD, yet?
I was looking forward to the 2009 CD, but I'm hoping I didn't miss any announcement about it...

I don't think they ever sent one out. I remember there was an problem with creating the CD and the AGA asked for a knowledgeable volunteer to help master it, but I don't think anyone stepped up to plate.

Is it possible to get the image (eg. online) if you're an AGA member?

Re: 2009 American Go Yearbook CD
I'm suggesting nothing. That sort of thought just pops into my head whenever you're present in a thread and they mention a need for an AGA volunteer.

According to Allan, I'm going to be able to help out with some IT design soon. But he also mentioned that I need to be patient because it takes time to get the ball rolling.
Back to the original topic, though, I really would be happy to make a CD image of the 2009 Yearbook content, if I could find out how to get it.

Thanks, Redbeard. I sent an email to that address about the CD. I'll post here if I get a response.

I've received some correspondence regarding this, and I think that, at least the CD content will be available using the same technology as the E-Journal member's edition uses. That's all I know at the moment.

If you read the journal article closer you will see that this is NOT the 2010 AGA Yearbook, but a special PDF supplement covering the 2010 US Go Congress. They put out out a similar edition for the World Amateur Go Championship.
I do not know what the actual plans for the 2010 yearbook are as I don't have time to volunteer to help with the journal. I'm just a citizen trying to help where I can.
